Computational Science

Course #: PHYSIC 662

Description:
This course provides an introduction to the uses of computational tools in physics and other natural sciences. While we study numerical methods and programming, the emphasis is on computation as an aid to understanding physical systems. Students are expected to have a background in undergraduate level science and mathematics, as well as a basic knowledge of programming. Students who are not matriculated in the Applied Physics graduate program may enroll with the permission of the instructor. The course material is intended to be accessible to a scientifically diverse student body, including students in mathematics, computer science, physical and other natural sciences.
